Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

Guihuali Village.

When Cheng Qiqi and the others returned to the village, everyone curiously inquired about the business at the shop.

"Uncle Wang, you've made money."

"Uncle Zhuang, Third Uncle, Uncle-in-law, we made money!"

"Grandma Leng, we've made money!"

Song Zhenmei was as excited as a harbinger of good news, praising it to everyone she met.

Ask her how much she earns?

"You'd have to ask Jin Cizhi and Zhuang Haichao, who are in charge of the accounting."

Song Zhenmei shook her head. They had collected more than five thousand coins today, and it had taken them a lot of effort just to count and string the coins. As for calculating the cost, she didn't know anything about it.

As a result, Jin Cizhi, Zhuang Haichao, and Leng Yu were surrounded again.

"Fellow villagers, we'll tell you all the accounts in a few days. Just know that we've made money. As for the exact amount, we can calculate it ourselves."

Zhuang Haichao dismissed everyone with a single sentence: "We need to keep detailed records; we can't afford to make mistakes, can we?"

"Leng Yu and I will keep the money together. One of us will hold the money box, and the other will hold the key. There won't be any problems."

Zhuang Haichao added another sentence, and the villagers immediately left happily.

"Yanzhi, let's go home now. Tomorrow, bring more firewood and more supplies to the shop."

As Zhuang Haichao spoke, his gaze lingered on Jin Xue'er for a moment before he said, "Let's bring some more rice straw tomorrow to put on the cart; it'll be more comfortable to sit on."

"Okay."

Jin Yanzhi nodded, looking at Zhuang Haichao who was clutching the money box and reluctant to go home, and said, "Zhuang Haichao, how about I take over the money box? You can keep the accounts?"

"That won't work."

Zhuang Haichao, clutching the heavy money box, grinned and said, "I don't recognize many of those characters. If you ask me to memorize them, I'll only get more confused. I'm going home, I'm going home now."

Zhuang Haichao held the money box and felt for the first time how heavy the money was in his hands.

That evening, everyone in the village was happy.

Even though none of the Tian family members went home, everyone knew they had made money.

Look at Zhuang Haichao, he can barely lift the money box today, and look at Leng Yu, whose face is usually stern, now has a smile on his face.

The Jin family.

"My sister-in-law is amazing! She can sell fragrant dew for 600 coins and Xia Qinglu for 98 coins—she can make a killing with that!"

Jin Xueer is now a complete fan of her sister-in-law.

"It's just a few taels of silver. What's the big deal?"

Lin Huilan couldn't stand Jin Xueer's constant praise of Cheng Qiqi ever since she got home.

"Young lady, what do you mean you're nothing special? You didn't see what your sister-in-law looked like today, she..."

Jin Xue'er was speaking excitedly when Lin Huilan raised her hand to interrupt, saying, "That's enough."

Lin Huilan frowned and said, "Xue'er, stay away from Zhuang Haichao, do you hear me?"

"Little girl."

Jin Xueer's excited words, which she wanted to share, were instantly chilled, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"Now that the Jin family is making money, Zhuang Haichao is not good enough for you."

Seeing her unhappy expression, Lin Huilan reminded her, "Stay away from her, or you'll get stuck with her."

"This young lady is truly fickle. Who was it that was praising Zhuang Haichao and the Zhuang family to me just now?"

Jin Xue'er's heart was completely broken. In her mother's eyes, she would marry whoever was useful to her.

So, is she an object?

……

"Qiqi, are you tired? Here, have an egg."

Liu Suyi brought forward a bowl of sweet egg soup, and Cheng Qiqi was stunned: "Mom, where did these eggs come from? They look like bird eggs."

"Mother, I got it. My sister found it."

Jin Sui'an ran over with her face flushed, followed by Su Tang, who was a little shorter than Jin Sui'an. Su Tang smiled shyly, with shallow dimples on her face.

"An'an and Tangtang are so amazing!"

Cheng Qiqi showered the two children with praise without reservation, saying, "Here, two bird eggs for each of you."

Cheng Qiqi went to the kitchen to get bowls, and put two small bird eggs in each of their bowls, saying, "These are bird eggs that you picked up yourself. They taste even better."

"Thank you, Mother."

Jin Sui'an sat under the eaves with a bowl in her arms, just about to pick at the bird eggs, when she saw Tangtang who was a step behind and said, "Little sister, come here, let me help you."

"..."

When Cheng Qiqi saw what her daughter had done, a helpless smile appeared on her lips. She had raised her daughter for four years, and she had no idea that her daughter was so good at taking care of people.

"Madam Cheng, Miss An'an is so good at taking care of her younger sister."

Mrs. Liu praised from the side. These past two days, she had been staying with Miss Tangtang at the Jin family's house. Mrs. Liu was originally worried that the young lady would not be used to living in such a poor family!

Who knew that Miss Tangtang was happy every day after living with Miss An'an, ate more than usual, didn't vomit at all, and smiled more often!

It's only two o'clock, and Liu's mother already feels that her young lady's thin face has gained a little bit of flesh.

"Tangtang is cute and adorable." Cheng Qiqi glanced at the bird eggs in the bowl and asked, "Mom, can you share some too?"

"Alright, your grandma and I have already eaten."

Liu Suyi said with a smile, "If you behave yourself, both her grandmother and I will get a share."

When Liu Suyi mentioned An'an, her eyes narrowed with a smile: "Qiqi, thank you for teaching An'an so well."

Other children of that age might not share their good food, but An'an is different; she never leaves anyone out when there's something delicious to eat.

Even Chuntao, who took care of her, was not neglected.

"An'an is smart and sensible. Sometimes I feel that I only feel happy and joyful because of her."

Cheng Qiqi looked at her daughter with tender eyes, and even the little bird eggs in the bowl seemed to smell better.

The next day, Cheng Qiqi went to the county with everyone as usual. There were many people, and the cart was piled with firewood, glass bottles, and miscellaneous fish. Cheng Qiqi, along with Song Zhenmei, Jin Xueer, Jin Yanzhi, Zhuang Haichao, and the delivery people, went to the Guihuali Shop in the county!

As dawn broke, Cheng Qiqi felt like she hadn't even woken up properly, but Song Zhenmei and Jin Xueer beside her were incredibly excited.

"Xue'er, I must be better than yesterday today! I practiced selling all night last night!"

"Me too! If I run into someone saying our stuff is too expensive again today, I won't feel guilty at all!"

Song Zhenmei and Jin Xueer encouraged each other along the way, trying to figure out how to sell the mosquito repellent and floral water well.

Cheng Qiqi glanced at them. These two young people are so lucky, aren't they sleepy at all?

She was so sleepy her eyes were practically drooping. When she's rich and doesn't have to worry about me anymore, I'll definitely sleep with her for three days and three nights!

Guihuali Shop!

Just as Cheng Qiqi and her friends arrived, they heard Song Zhenmei's excited voice: "Fish balls! People are actually buying fish balls so early!"

"Sister Zhuang, let me help you!"

As Song Zhenmei spoke, she strode towards the shop, ready to help!
